This makes perfect sense and is hugely important to me, not just with T but in general life. I think I feel it particularly acutely as I felt completely unheard as a child.
Luckily my T is really good at hearing me most of the time. On the odd occasion where he misses the mark he takes ownership of that very quickly. That's been very important.
Over the last few years I've had issues with both tutors and my supervisor who were not so attuned to what I am saying and have triggered those feelings of being unheard and not valued.
